Russian President Vladimir Putin is destroying Raqqa Syria and ISIS with bombs
The Russian military has fired multiple cruise missiles at the Isis stronghold of Raqqa, the Kremlin has confirmed.
Russia’s defence minister told a briefing with President Vladimir Putin that cruise missiles targeted militant positions across Syria’s Aleppo and Idlib provinces.
Sergei Shoigu said the missiles were launched from Tu-160 and Tu-95 warplanes, and said they were among 2,300 sorties carried out by the Russian military in the past 48 days.
Earlier, US officials were quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying Russia had launched a “significant number” of strikes in Syria using both sea-launched cruise missiles and long-range bombers. more here
